Pamper Yourself!

Hello everyone, Michelle here with you today with a cute little project for you. Everybody loves candles, and they are one of my favorite "go to" gifts. This year for Teacher Appreciation Week, the class has gone together on a spa gift card for my daughter's teacher. I decided to make a candle to be wrapped with the gift card, just to make it more fun than handing her a gift card.

To make my candle wrap, I just cut a strip of patterned paper to fit around the candle. Candles come in all different sizes, so you will just have to gauge yours to whatever candle you buy.

I cut a label with my Spellbinders Labels 14 die and stamped "Pamper Yourself" from the Awareness is Empowering stamp set in brown ink, and then inked up the edges a bit with the same ink. Have to say again how much I love the versatility of that stamp set. I have found so many different uses for it! I added a couple of flowers to the label, with some little sticker gems for the centers, then popped the label up on some foam dimensional dots to really make it stand out.

So simple, and so cute! The "Pamper Yourself" saying works perfectly for the spa gift card.
